General Master Workman Powdorly
makes the whole order his contidant to the
extent OF two columns in the official organ
of the order Of this week. He asks that
every local assembly read these letters, as it
ls his intention to continue them until nc
has reached point when popular vote of

Gals to deal leniently with such metnbers as

part In assisting in q work which has only
begun.
lie reviews the work Of the last General
Assembly and relates his early experiences

elevation Of the workingmau-in view Mr..
Powderly euuuciates that his theory was
that great improvement would result by
bringing, to use his own words, the high.

he says, "and is the one practical lesson

POVERTY IN EUROPE.
Foar Thousand Children. Starving iu Vienna
Some Cf them.DeRd.

An inquiry recently instituted into the
condition OF the Vienna poor attending the
elementary schools resulted iu oppallipg
disclosures. Upward of 1000 children
were suffering from the pangs of hunger,
some OF them being on the verge of starya-
tion. A long list of heartrending cases
came to light, aud no doubt was left that
not few of the unfortunate little ones had
died Of inanition. The Intelligence, her
aided abroad through the local press, at
once became sensational, aud the starving
school children are now the idols of the
hour.
The children, cross examined by q relief
committee, COrrObOratcd the evidence al
ready taken. Ii transpircd that their priu-
cipal food consisted Of dry bread and Occa-
sionally little weak soup or coffee. 1t is
quite true that some Of them affirmed that
they were habitually given a glass Of
spirits TO stinc the cravings of their appetite
and to keep out the cold.
One boy positively stated that his father
was good man and that when he could
not give him anything TO cat he let him
drink rs much gin as he liked. ia, ia,"
| exclaimed his school fellows, "and that is
why you often come drunk to school,"
The parents Of the starving children are

able class. AS soon as the work Of relieving
the children was taken in hand subscrip,
tions were opened at the editorial offices of
the metropolitan press, Seldom has an
appeal TO public charity been more gener,
ouSly responded to. The poorer class have
largely contributed.
+ he popular newspapers arc full of ad
vcrtiscmcnts from people who cannot spare
much money, but who offer to give one or
two children their 'aily food. Almost all

TIIE HohnoKs OF WAR.

Getting up CHASTITY Statistics OF Our War
The Bloodiest Battles OF Modern History.
Investigations recently made in the
war department at Washington show that
the late American civil war was relatively
| the most sanRuinary on record. Though
the Federal and Confederate returns are
| not'altogether exact, tho war Office is
| able to give close approximate estimate
| of the killed, wounded and missing in
| tho Federal forces. According to tho
statistics 297,825 Union soldiers lio
buried i'll the various national cemcte-
ries. Including losses of which no ac-
count can be taken, the war cost the
! North 800, 900 lives, or more than ono i'll
nine of all those who entered the service
The two opposing armies mot in oyor
| 1000 skirmishes and battles. In I4S of
those conflicts the loss on the Federal
side was upward 500 mon, and in ut least
ten battles moro than 10000 were re-
ported lost on each side. The combined
| losses of tho Federal aud Confederate
forces in killed, wounded and missing in
| the following engagements were: Shiloh,
2l,0OO; Antietam, 38, 600; Stono River,
$4,000; Chancellorsvillc, 28, 200; Gottys,
| burg, 1000; Chickamauga, 30, 900; Nc
| ClcUen's pcninsuinr campaign, $4,000;
Grants peninsular campaign, 10000,
and Shermans campaign, 125, 600.
| Waterloo was one of the most dcspcr-
ate and bloody fields chroncled in Eu-

during the American war the loss nt

The superstition Of sailors is pro
verbal. A cablcgram from Gibraltar to
the Plcayuno brings information which
most strongly confirms the force Of this
superstition Of the sea and how its fore
Dodings of evil were realized.
Last july there was lying ut the wharf
at the head of Spain street, in this city,
the Austrian bark IIussignano. She
brought a cargo Of Italian marble. MIR.
Nincenzo BujG was the stevcdorc who
engaged to discharge her freight, and on
July II, whilo he was engaged aloGt in
rigging some hoistiug gear, he fell to the
deck, distance OF forty feet, and was
killed. Finally, when the vessel was un-
loaded, she took on board a cargo OF
cotton seed oil for Genoa, whore it was
to be converted into pure olive oil.
When the ship was ready to sail the
crew deserted in body, declaring that
having brought over q cargo of tomb
stones which had already caused the
death OF man, the vessel had como
under evil influences, which would cause
her destruction. A new crew was en-
gagged and the bark sailed from this port
on August Il. Now, the telegraph
brings the news that she WIS burnt at
seq, her crew having been rescued by
the bark Gasparo and brought into
Gibraltar on October 2. Whether the
evil omens which the ignorant sailors
had prOfessed TO recognize had any sig
niiicance or not, the vessel at any rate
met the destruction to which sho had
been doomed, to tho satisfaction Of the

Against CulIan and Hawkins.

LONDON, November 23 -ExtraOriinary
precautions arc being taken to guard Cal,
Ian and Hawkins against outside influence
or chances Of escape from prison. A search
was made of the dust holes and out-of-thc.
way places in the building in which Callan
lodged day, and upward of thirty pounds
of dynamite were discovered while other
explosive compounds were found buried in
the yards and gardens of adjoining houses
The closets, drains and water pipes in uaw-
kins' residence were also searched, but
nothing was discovered there, though the
police arc still in expectation of finding
something to reward them for their laD0rS
1t appears that the curiosity of the police
was excited and their attention attracted TO
Hawkins by the fact that one of his ncigh.
bors left London for New York on the
morning following the inquest on the body
OF Cohen, and before starting took a port
mantcau to several places to have il re-
paired, stating at each place that he must
have it within an hour in order to catch the
steamer. The mans evident hurry i'm

then all rose up at once and gave the
elders notice to move on Instantly. They
refused at first, but Monday night two
OF them were taken out and tarred and
fcathered, and the next night two others
were chased into the woods by hounds
and kept IN the trees all night. The
